This episode explores what lives inside each of — our essence — and is an invitation to live from that place with more intention. You'll hear about many of my stories that finally had me grab onto, own, and ultimately embody the part of me I had feared most. The part people could see and sense the minute they met me, but the part I felt compelled to hide or tightly manage. At its core, this chapter is a call to action — to come out from behind ourselves and live life as we are, not as we think (of have been told)we should be.

This episode examines how often many of us feel alone when we're surrounded by a crowd of people — like you're the only one that thinks and feels a certain way, and everyone else has it "together" and "figured out". It also examines the shame that can bubble up inside ourselves in those situations("what's wrong with you!?") that can have us withdraw even further — from others and from our own truth. At the core of this episode is a personal look at my own relationship to anger — then and now — and how I have sought to shuck the shame, while also leveraging it as fuel for my fire. For anyone who thinks your alone in this or who feels like people might not be able to "handle you" if you let that energy out/show more...this one's for you.

This episode explores the default so many of us have around "bearing down" on something we want to make happen — which means reckoning with our love affair of control, being busy, moving fast, and being "productive". At the core of it, there is an invitation to become more efficient with how we move through life — balancing periods of pushing with periods of yielding — and trusting in ourselves enough to honor both instincts and guidance to propel us forward.

This episode is about my long-overdue reclamation of a part of myself that was both my greatest strength and secret shame: my competitive spirit. In this chapter, I unpack all the rules that had me moving carefully — as if by a script — and holding myself full self back. But more than that, this is a story about alchemy — and how choosing to consciously burn off shame can offer access to even deeper reservoirs of personal power.

This episode unpacks my own story of competition, and explores how it tends to get a bad rap among women. It also looks at how our competitive spirit (ambition, drive, intensity, desire) can be a thin and tricky line to walk as women — triggering us to dampen, dumb down, or diminish ("play small" or "shrink") what is sometimes our greatest strength. This is my story of discovering how I was participating in my own shrinkage in this regard...and in how healing that shame and more fully owning the entirety of who I am is helping me to not only be more compassionate with myself — but also is greatly diminishing my experiences of judgement and disconnect from others.
